A few tid-bits

I saw this on my friend Jenny's blog and filling in my answers. Jenny, I hope you don't mind me stealing your format!

I am: Cassie
I think: Frank Sinatra was a great artist, but not a very nice man...unfortunately.
I know: too many random facts about celebrities...not always useful.
I want: to read more, to be tidier, to have a grown-up job, to be a mom, to be the best wife possible.
I wish: I could work up the guts to be on Survivor.
I hate: broccoli.
I miss: my long-distance family and my friends in foreign countries. But I'm excited to see them soon!
I fear: fear itself, and scary movie previews.
I feel: my feet throbbing from a long day at Caribou.
I hear: Gerrit playing video games. :)
I smell: coffee on my hands! No matter what I do, it won't come off!
I crave: McDonald's all the time. "Supersize Me" had no affect on me. I've had this craving since I was little.
I search: for clean clothes in my laundry basket because I throw them in there whether they are dirty or not.
I wonder: what our kids will look like (Lord willing, we have them).
I regret: buying that shirt at Target. It's actually not cute at all.
I love: God, Gerrit, my family, my friends
I ache: for those who ache...and also for a massage.
I care: too little for endangered species.
I always: have a routine for everyday activities (OCD???)
I am not: motivated to exercise.
I believe: and I know that Jesus died for my sins, rose again, and is coming back one day.
I dance: more awkwardly now than I did in high school. I think my years at Northwestern drained me of rhythm.
I sing: way better when I'm alone. Though, I'm a pretty easy judge on myself...more of a Paula than a Simon.
I cry: whenever I see a bride walk down the aisle...whether I know her or not!
I don't always: do what I'm told (Gerrit said, "that sounds about right").
I fight: about silly things. I typically think I'm right. I need to work on this.
I write: too few blogs; my Sunday sermon notes and other quotes into a little book.
I win: at the game "Life" and Gerrit gets upset that he "didn't catch any breaks!" I love the game because there is so little strategy.
I lose: at most other games I play.
I never: eat the clam chowder at Christmas. I can't bring myself to do it.
I confuse: Memorial Day with Labor Day. Actually, I know what Memorial Day is. But Labor Day is...? I'm sure the whole Magee side of the family is disowning me right as you read this. I know they are important though! Please, still love me! Edit: Gerrit filled me in, bless his heart.
I listen: and then give my opinion. I should really start asking if people want my opinion.
I can usually be found: watching a reality television show.
I am scared: of noises in our apartment.
I need: to go to bed.
I am happy about: my life in general. I've been very blessed by God with an amazing husband, a wonderful family, great friends and most importantly, a relationship with Him.
I hope: to blog more later. Love you all!

Can you beat my score?

This is Gerrit, not Cassie. Thought I'd pick up some of her slack. :)

The Latest

Man, I'm a terrible blogger. Sorry, everyone! Well, the latest news is that Gerrit and I are looking for a new place of residence. We aren't looking to buy just yet. Maybe in another year. So far, we've just been looking at ads in the paper and online. I'm looking for something like this.
I particularly like the extensive grounds, the hired help, and of course, the walk-in closets. It might be a few years down the road till we achieve this. But I know we'll get there! I guess I'll settle for a mouse-free apartment or house. :)

I also just got a new job at Caribou Coffee. This is a temporary solution until I find a grown-up job. But for now, I'm enjoying the atmosphere and the people I work with. However, working at a coffee shop is nothing like visiting one. It's hard work! The first time I attempted to steam milk, it splattered EVERYWHERE! It was only slightly traumatizing and I don't think any customers noticed. Thankfully, my manager was very nice about it and did the same thing the next day! Apparently it happens to everyone. Tomorrow I have to take a test about coffee and make 3 drinks. This is more nerve-racking than college finals! Somebody actually has to drink my final exam! So much pressure.

Tonight, Gerrit is playing softball in a league with his good friend, Dave. I will be playing the role of the supportive wife in the stands. Gerrit said I didn't have to come if I would be bored. I said, "Oh, I'll be bored. But I'm coming." I'm missing Survivor for this! But I love the boy, so what can I do? We really need TiVo. That's all for now. Love to all!
